A woman from New Mexico allegedly fed her grandfather a lethal dose of medication, then stuffed his body in a tool chest before driving across the country, according to officials.
New Mexico State Police announced that Candy Jo Webb, 27, was arrested Thursday by U.S. Marshals in Jacksonville, Fla., three weeks after her grandfather’s body was discovered.
“Webb was taken into custody without incident and was booked into the local detention center in Florida where she will await extradition to New Mexico,” state police said in a news release.
According to police, 82-year-old AJ Harden’s remains were found on Oct. 15 inside a tool chest on a property in Fort Sumner.
Agents from state police believe that Webb gave Harden the drugs Xanax and Ambien, then after he died concealed his remains in the chest.
“Webb drove the tool chest to 1976 Shenandoah Drive in Fort Sumner where she discarded the body,” police said.
The owner of the property, Brenda Moyer, told police when she was interviewed on Oct. 19 that she rented the home to her son, who was living there with Webb when they dated, the Eastern New Mexico News reported.
